Just so you don't feel too frustrated, you are not
alone in getting non-responses at yahoo. Take any subject concerning data at
yahoo and substitute it into your received yahoo response and I've seen it. Why
certain indexes have no historical data...its the vendor and we hope someone
will fix it. Why price data gets decimal points wrong or is missing..its the
vendor and we hope someone will fix it. How about adding breadth data that has
historical capability, its the vendor and we hope someone will add
it.
Sorry to be pessimistic but that's been my
experience past year or so

Subject: [amibroker] Yahoo Historical -
Inaccurate Data
FYI on Free Yahoo data:
I recently wrote Yahoo
Finance as to why Adj. Close on
the historical
data is only supplied to
two decimal places, which
makes it very crude.
For example, CSCO in
early 1990 was varies from
$23.00-24.00 while the
Adj. Close = $0.08 for
all prices from $23.00 to
24.00.
Elsewhere Yahoo claims CSIData is
their data supplier.
Can someone with
CSIData tell me if the database
you pay for has the
same limitation?

Re: RE: Feedback - Inaccurate Data
(KMM50817727V30869L0KM)
Hello
Terry,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Customer
Care.
Currently, our provider supplies the data to two
decimal
places.
We are hoping that, in the future, the historical
prices in
the adjusted
close column will reflect more decimal places
for
convenience. At this
time, we are unable to determine when
this event will
occur.
We appreciate your patience and
understanding.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer
Care.
Regards,
John
Yahoo! Customer
Care
